Boeing flight from Delhi to San Francisco prepares for emergency landing in central Russia

Meanwhile, a Boeing 777 plane, which took off from Delhi, India, heading to San Francisco, USA, is preparing to make an emergency landing in the Russian city of Krasnoyarsk.

The Air India plane suddenly changed course in the Evenki area, after which the pilots gave an audible signal with the code 7700, which means a technical failure on board.

Krasnoyarsk airport is already preparing to receive the plane.

Emergency services reported that the plane would land due to a fire sensor being activated in the cargo hold.

The plane is 15 years old, and the cause of the malfunction is not yet clear, but in any case, this incident will be another episode that will raise questions about Boeing's already deteriorating reputation.
